Battlestar Wiki:Bots

This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects. This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

Bots (Codename: Raider) assist members and the administrator staff with basic functions throughout the Wiki. Some might be as trivial as HTML translating into Wikicode and some are much more complex.

Bots require special approval to be run on a Wiki as they have control over mass of data. If you with to contribute by writing a bot, you can post it under the review bin so Administrators can take a look at it to make sure it's non-threating.

Project Team

• Shane - Co-Lead
• Joe Beaudoin Jr. - Co-Lead, Technicial Side

Policy

• There must be a need for it. We won't install every bot there even if it is used somewhere else for trivial matters.
• A bot can be removed from service at any time with or without reason.
• One Month Probation Period - Afterwards the bot owner can control it's functions and not Administrators.
• Once a bot is approved, that source code will be locked. If it needs updating and depending on it's update size, it might go back to a 2 week probation period to make sure everything works out ok.
• Bot masters must maintain all bot related pages. If pages become out of date, bots will be disabled until information is current.
• Bot masters will also send a monthly report on the progress on their bots to determine if they are still needed.
• All bots will be under the Category:Bots.
